The World of Martial Arts

Chapter 37 The Adventure of the Protagonist
Xu Zhengping took the disguised Lin Pingzhi all the way south, and walked for several days to Luoyang again.

It happened that it was getting late, and the two were looking for a hotel in Luoyang City, but they saw a few beggars beating an alcoholic who was lying outside the hotel, drunk and unconscious.

Xu Zhengping glanced at it, and didn't want to pay attention at first, thinking that it must be the refugees from outside who were begging in the city and didn't go to visit the wharf of the local beggar gang, so they were surrounded and beaten by the beggar gang.

But with a casual glance, he felt that the drunk man looked familiar.

Wait, isn't this person Linghu Chong?How could he be here alone?

Immediately, he stepped forward, chased away the group of beggars, and asked Lin Pingzhi to help Linghu Chong up.

Those beggars didn't attack seriously, they beat Linghu Chong until his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, and his mouth and nose were bleeding. If he didn't stop him, he might beat him to death.

Daming's Beggar Gang is not a chivalrous organization.

Xu Zhengping asked the shopkeeper to find a doctor to come over, healed Linghu Chong, and also fed him hangover soup.

Linghu Chong woke up leisurely, saw Xu Zhengping, and quickly saluted.

"Mr. Xu! Why did you come to Luoyang?"

"Talk about my business separately, what's the matter with you? What about your master and the others?"

Linghu Chong gave a wry smile, and immediately told a brief account of what happened during the time after they parted.

After leaving the Yaowang Temple that day, Yue Buqun ordered all his disciples to disperse and leave in order to prevent people from getting together and being targeted by Zuo Lengchan's people.

Linghu Chong was injured, so he followed Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan all the time.

The four came to Luoyang, and soon went to find Ping Yizhi, a famous murderer.

Yue Buqun simply got rid of a local villain in exchange for a place to treat Linghu Chong.

As a result, after Ping Yizhi's diagnosis, he only said that Linghu Chong would only live for one year at most, there was no cure, and at most he could live two or three years longer after his treatment.

After Yue Buqun and his wife knew about this, they couldn't think about it. After comforting Linghu Chong, they thought about going to other sects of Wuyue Sword Sect to discuss the matter of fighting Zuo Lengchan.

So he left enough money and left Linghu Chong at Ping Yizhi to take care of him.

Knowing that his life was not long, Linghu Chong was so sad that he simply gave up on himself, and ignored Ping's point of dissuasion, and used the money Yue Buqun gave him to drink and eat meat.

But as the protagonist, he deserves to have a halo of various adventures, so he can also encounter unexpected adventures.

One day, when he was drinking in Luoyang City, he came across a swordsman from the Song Dynasty who was carrying a pair of dark, thick and heavy swords. The most important thing was that he was accompanied by a giant eagle, which was as big as a man!

Everyone on the street was afraid to approach him, but Linghu Chong thought this person was interesting, so he took the initiative to invite him to drink.

The other party was not polite, and even said that he would invite his brother Diao along with him.

Linghu Chong thought it was even more interesting that the eagle also drank, so he invited him to join him.

Unexpectedly, the giant eagle can drink far more than ordinary people, even though the swordsman can only drink with the help of that swordsman, he has already finished the three jars in just a quarter of an hour.

Linghu Chong wanted to find out the drinking capacity of this divine eagle, so he simply spent all his money and bought a carload of alcohol, and the two of them just sat in the restaurant and drank like this.

In the drinking room, the rough swordsman from the Song Dynasty admired Linghu Chong's boldness, saying that he came to Daming this time to seek the ultimate in swordsmanship, and wanted to fight a duel with Daming's sword god Xie Xiaofeng.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xiaofeng had long since disappeared, and he was asked to come here for nothing.

However, he met an interesting swordsman named Yan Shisan, who was also looking for the sword god Xie Xiaofeng.

When the two met, it was natural that they would discuss swords.

The rough swordsman said that although Yan Shisan's deadly thirteen swords were extremely exquisite and powerful, they were still just mortal swords and belonged to the category of swords with tricks. They were not his opponents, so they never fought against him.

Yan Shisan felt that the rough swordsman was very arrogant, so he sought a battle all the way.

The rough swordsman didn't want to hurt him, so he evaded all the way, and the two sides came to Luoyang City.

Only now did Linghu Chong realize that there was a taciturn black-clothed swordsman sitting in a corner of the restaurant, and that person was Yan Shisan.

The rough swordsman said that although he can beat Yan Shisan at any time, but once he fights, it is easy to hurt people, so he wants Linghu Chong to solve it for him.

Linghu Chong talked about his own situation, now that he has no internal energy and is weak, how can he help him.

In the end, the rough swordsman was overjoyed and asked Yan Shisan to come over. Yan Shisan also heard the conversation between them, so he came here calmly and looked at Linghu Chong.

The rough swordsman asked Yan Shisan to help cure Linghu Chong. In fact, besides being the most famous swordsman in the world, Yan Shisan was also a superb healer himself.

His medical skills were on par with Ping's, and Linghu Chong couldn't be cured either, but he could give Linghu Chong the medicine to make Linghu Chong as healthy as a normal person in a few days, at the cost of only half a year's life.

Linghu Chong readily agreed, and after taking the medicine, the four of them came to a deserted place in the outskirts of the city.

The rough swordsman introduced himself at this time, saying that his real name had been forgotten, and now he was called Dugu Qiubai, who was known as Sword Demon in Song Dynasty.

He said that he would teach Linghu Chong the nine-style swordsmanship, and these nine-style swordsmanship could beat Yan Shisan's thirteen deadly swordsmanship.

Yan Shisan snorted, and only said that since Linghu Chong had no internal strength, he would also call himself internal strength at that time, only comparing external strength and sword moves.

So it took a day for Linghu Chong to learn the Dugu Nine Swords from Dugu Qiubai. This kind of comprehension talent also made Dugu Qiubai appreciate it, but it's a pity that his life is not long, otherwise his achievements in kendo will not be low in the future.

Linghu Chong and Yan Shisan did not rely on internal strength, they fought purely with swordsmanship. At the beginning, Linghu Chong was frightened by Yan Shisan's deadly thirteen swords, and he was a little panicked.

After calming down, relying on the style of Dugu Nine Swords without moves, he wins with no moves and has moves, and when he encounters strong, he becomes strong, and gradually stabilizes the situation.

In the end, the more exquisite Yan Shisan's thirteen deadly swords were, the more exquisite Linghu Chong's non-moving swordsmanship was.

At the end of the battle, with all the thirteen swords, Yan Shisan was unable to defeat Linghu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords, and was undefeated.

But Yan Shisan was not depressed because of this, but benefited a lot from this battle. He said that he had vaguely realized the No.14 sword. Find Dugu and seek defeat.

He didn't mention Linghu Chong, obviously Linghu Chong must be dead by then.

Dugu Qiubai also readily agreed, saying that he would wait to see his divine sword.

After the three of them parted, Linghu Chong felt lost. He also wanted to be like Dugu seeking defeat, smiling proudly at the pinnacle of swordsmanship. He only wanted one defeat, and he also wanted to be like Yan Shisan, invincible under the sword, and roam the rivers and lakes.

It's a pity that once the effect of the medicine of tiger and wolf wears off, he is not as good as ordinary people, and he is so weak that he can't even hold a sword.

Came to the tavern to drink and spend a few meals. The boss saw that he had no money, so he kicked him out. He just leaned against the door of the hotel and waited to die.

Unexpectedly, passers-by felt sympathetic. Someone threw copper coins to him, but Linghu Chong didn't care. A gang fight.

Fortunately, he met Xu Zhengping, otherwise he would have been beaten to death.
